Re: #25 Chain

We are setup with 22T sprockets on 8" pneumatic wheels geared at 8 and 18 ft/s off of 2, 3 CIM shifting gearboxes, and #25 completely doesn't cut it.

We will be spending all of Thursday at week one tearing apart our drivetrain to replace all of the chain.

The spacing and tensioning and alignment of the chain was done absolutely perfectly, every chain had good tension without being too tight, it was by far the nicest drivetrain in team history, until we tried to go over defenses and chains started snapping.

Use #35 if at all possible, #25 really burned us this year.
